Diplomacy (NEW 50th Anniversary Ed.)
The Classic Game of Intrigue,
Trust, and Treachery, now redesigned with crappy pieces (our opinion)!
Still, it's nice to have this wonderful game available again even if in this
format. At the turn of the 20th century, the seven Great European Powers engage in an intricate struggle for supremacy. Military forces invade and withdraw, shifting borders and altering empires with subtle maneuvers and daring gambits. Your job is to form alliances and unhatch your traitorous plots as you negotiate and outwit—in a delicate balance of cooperation and competition—to gain dominance of the continent! Your success hinges not on the luck of the dice, but your cunning and cleverness. The 50th Anniversary Edition of Diplomacy contains: * 30" x 20" Game Board * 20 count strategy map pad * 315 army, navy, and national control markers. Ages 12+, for 2-7, but best with 5-7 players; easy to learn but can take a long time to play. Click image to enlarge | $29.87 |

Facts in Five: Reintroduction of the most popular Bookshelf Game from 3M (and
later Avalon Hill) in the 1960s; a classic fact-filled game. Get your
friends together for a die-hard trivia challenge. Players must name five
members of five categories before their time runs out. For example, can you
name Presidents starting with the letters P, B, G, T and W? It's harder than
it looks! Invented by Rick Onanian, this classic is played throughout the
world. Our take: This is one of our favorite games. It is the forerunner of Scattergories, Trivial Pursuit, and, for that matter, all "party" / trivia games. It can be played by 2-5 players (more in teams). One unique feature is that play will gear itself to the players involved. It can be as hard or easy as those playing choose to make it. Everyone plays at the same time, so no sitting around waiting for turns. Each game (or round) takes only 5 minutes. Welcome back to a true classic. | $27.72 |

 | Attila: The year is 375 AD. Attila is overrunning Europe with his mounted hordes of Huns. The Goths are fleeing before him, and driving ever deeper into the provinces of the declining Roman Empire. The heart of the game is the colonization of the former Roman provinces by the Goths.

In his turn a player may play a tribe card allowing that tribe to move into a neighboring province, and simultaneously, raises the player's influence over that province and it's occupants. As soon as there are five tribe markers in a province, a battle for control ensues which ends with peace in that area. At the end of every century are the scores totaled. Now is the time to see which player has controlled things best, because only the player with the most influence over a tribe, scores points for them. The winner, is the player who, after 4 centuries, has been cleverest in manipulating the tribes, and managing to gain influence over those that have spread the furthest. 2-5 Players, ages 12+ | $23.87 | Sold out |

Facts in Five:
Reintroduction of the most popular Bookshelf
Game from 3M (and later Avalon Hill) in the 1960s; a classic fact-filled
game. Get your friends together for a die-hard trivia challenge. Players
must name five members of five categories before their time runs out. For
example, can you name Presidents starting with the letters P, B, G, T and W?
It's harder than it looks! Invented by Rick Onanian, this classic is played
throughout the world. Our take: This is one of our favorite games. It is the forerunner of Scatergories, Trivial Pursuit, and, for that matter, all "party" / trivia games. It can be played by 2-5 players (more in teams). One unique feature is that play will gear itself to the players involved. It can be as hard or easy as those playing choose to make it. Everyone plays at the same time, so no sitting around waiting for turns. Each game (or round) takes only 5 minutes. Welcome back to a true classic. | $27.72 |
